To determine the extent of hepatitis B virus (HBV) suppression and its association with seroclearance of hepatitis 'e' antigen (HBeAg) and hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) in HIV/HBV-coinfected patients undergoing long-term tenofovir-based antiretroviral therapy (ART).
We prospectively followed 165 HIV/HBV-coinfected patients undergoing tenofovir-based ART. Serum HBV-DNA viral loads and HBeAg and HBsAg status were obtained at tenofovir initiation and every 6-12 months. We calculated the proportion achieving virological response (VR, <60 IU/mL) during follow-up. We also calculated rates of HBeAg- and HBsAg-seroclearance, which were compared between those who achieved versus never achieved VR during follow-up using an Exact binomial test.
During a median 8.1 years (IQR = 4.0-13.2) of tenofovir treatment, 152 (92.1%) patients were able to achieve VR and 13 (7.9%) never achieved VR (median HBV-DNA at the end of follow-up = 608 IU/mL, range = 67-52 400 000). The prevalence of individuals with detectable HBV-DNA (≥60 IU/mL) decreased during tenofovir treatment: 15.1% (n = 14/93) at 5 years, 3.2% (n = 2/62) at 10 years and, 3.2% (n = 1/31) at 15 years. 44/96 HBeAg-positive patients (6.15/100 person-years) had HBeAg-seroclearance and 13/165 patients overall (0.87/100 person-years) had HBsAg-seroclearance. No difference in HBeAg-seroclearance was observed between those who achieved versus never achieved VR (7.4 versus 3.7/100 person-years, P = 0.33), while HBsAg-seroclearance was only observed in those with VR (1.0 versus 0/100 person-years, P = 0.49; respectively). Individuals with VR also had a higher frequency of undetectable HIV-RNA during treatment (P < 0.001).
During long-term tenofovir-based ART for HIV/HBV coinfection, persistent HBV viraemia is apparent, but becomes less frequent over time. HBsAg-seroclearance only occurred in those with full HBV and relatively high HIV suppression.
确定乙型肝炎病毒 (HBV) 抑制的程度及其与 HIV/HBV 合并感染患者长期接受替诺福韦为基础的抗逆转录病毒治疗 (ART) 时乙型肝炎 e 抗原 (HBeAg) 和乙型肝炎表面抗原 (HBsAg) 清除的关系。
我们前瞻性地随访了 165 例接受替诺福韦为基础的 ART 的 HIV/HBV 合并感染患者。在替诺福韦治疗开始时和每 6-12 个月获得血清 HBV-DNA 病毒载量和 HBeAg 和 HBsAg 状态。我们计算了随访期间达到病毒学应答 (VR,<60IU/mL) 的比例。我们还计算了 HBeAg 和 HBsAg 清除率,并使用确切二项式检验比较了在随访期间达到和未达到 VR 的患者之间的清除率。
在替诺福韦治疗的中位 8.1 年(IQR = 4.0-13.2)期间,152 例(92.1%)患者能够达到 VR,13 例(7.9%)从未达到 VR(中位随访结束时的 HBV-DNA 为 608IU/mL,范围为 67-5240000)。在替诺福韦治疗期间,检测到 HBV-DNA(≥60IU/mL)的个体比例下降:5 年内为 15.1%(n = 14/93),10 年内为 3.2%(n = 2/62),15 年内为 3.2%(n = 1/31)。44/96 例 HBeAg 阳性患者(6.15/100 人年)发生了 HBeAg 清除,165 例患者中共有 13 例(0.87/100 人年)发生了 HBsAg 清除。在达到和未达到 VR 的患者之间,HBeAg 清除率无差异(7.4 与 3.7/100 人年,P = 0.33),而 HBsAg 清除率仅见于达到 VR 的患者(1.0 与 0/100 人年,P = 0.49)。达到 VR 的患者在治疗期间也有更高的 HIV-RNA 无法检测到的频率(P < 0.001)。
在 HIV/HBV 合并感染患者长期接受替诺福韦为基础的 ART 期间,持续性 HBV 病毒血症很明显,但随着时间的推移,这种情况变得越来越不常见。HBsAg 清除仅发生在那些有完全 HBV 和相对较高的 HIV 抑制的患者中。
